Higher-pressure liquid movement across drainage and transfer systems can be supported by the Calpeda B-A 65-150A where self-priming centrifugal operation is required. The hydraulic arrangement is suited to installations exposed to changing suction conditions involving clean or slightly dirty liquids.
Bronze hydraulic components contribute structural durability across the casing, cylindrical suction section, impeller assembly, and lantern bracket while supporting operation in demanding service environments. Mechanical shaft sealing is achieved through carbon ceramic faces combined with NBR elastomer support elements, and the close-coupled motor incorporates class F insulation together with IP54 enclosure protection.
Hydraulic circulation stability is maintained through the open bronze impeller arrangement, allowing suspended solids up to 10 mm to pass without restricting liquid transfer performance. Following shutdown with partially emptied suction lines, the self-priming system restores hydraulic operation automatically during restart conditions.
Maximum flow extends to 57 m³/h with discharge head reaching 29 m, supporting elevated transfer capability across larger hydraulic systems. The three-phase 400V induction motor delivers 4 kW rated output power while operating with rated current of 9.6 A and rotational speed near 2900 rpm. Liquid handling capability supports temperatures from -10°C to 90°C with working pressure up to 6 bar.
